The Ukrainian Air Force says a shortage of interceptor missiles meant none of the 23 ballistic missiles fired by Russia at Kyiv on Sunday night were shot down.

At the scene of a blast in Ukraine’s capital – that left a large hole in a residential building – a survivor told the BBC’s Sarah Rainsford that she had been “terrified”.

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Moscow would continue to hit residential buildings as long as defensive Patriot missiles “remain in our allies’ stockpiles”.

At least 13 people were killed in the second large-scale Russian attack on the Ukrainian capital in a week, officials said. Six more were killed in the wider Kyiv region.
